Welcome to a workshop where Karen O’Brien and Elina Eriksson invite you to explore the IPBES transformative change user guidance and relate it to your own projects and initiatives. Karen will walk through the user guidance and relate it to the three spheres of transformation, and together we will explore how to translate transformative change into fractals of change.
This workshop is open to both faculty and students!
